Not only is it incredibly easy to use and at a nice price point - it makes excellent coffee!This is a convenient and fun way to get a different taste/texture to your brew. And if you are a curious, coffee crazy connoisseur like myself - it's a "must-have" device for experimentation.I have had good results with any roast level, freshly ground beans and was pleasantly surprised how much more flavorful some light roasts can become. The "trick" with this method is to just know timing/water level and amount of grounds, but that is all adjustable to your own preferences.As with most coffee brewing methods - the only way this isn't foolproof is if you neglect to keep an eye on it or remove from heat soon enough.I also find it is pleasant and easy enough to use on work mornings as well as weekends.From personal preference, the 6 Cup model is also most ideal if you are concerned about size. It can either make one large serving or you can split it out into 2 depending on milk level preference, drink recipe, etc. I can easily get my desired amount in just one brewing or save some for later to make an iced coffee with.Pros:Ample handle is nicely spaced from pitcher to minimize burn riskHeavy weighted base - sturdy feeling design for long term useEasy screw on/offEasy cleaning/maintenanceSimple & stylishOnly "Cons":Moisture can make filter basket slightly tricky to remove - but not aggravatingly soDepending on how quick your stove heats this can be a 10-15 min process and may not be ideal for some foggy people in a rush. :)For the price and results you can't go wrong if you love coffee as much as I do!
